I am glad to see that the esteemed Pat Robertson spoke
to a full house at Princeton on April Fools Day (Notebook,
May 14). I didn't realize that Princeton had started a religious bigot
lecture series. I look forward to reading about future lectures by similarly
enlightened leaders from other religions; after all, the last thing you
would want is for someone to sue the university for religious discrimination.
Let us celebrate the wonderful diversity of bigotry that the world's religions
have to offer.

I've spent nine years away from home living in the U.K.
The world has seen the alarming growth and intent of fundamentalist Islamic
terror, but I'm even more scared by the growth of fundamentalist Christianity
back home in the U.S. Admittedly one group is more peaceful in its methods,
but it amazes me that people don't notice the ideological similarities
between the two. Nothing typifies this more than when a top university
dignifies a fundamentalist bigot with a lecture offer. Bigots are bigots
 whether they wear a turban or a suit.
